Electrochemical-Thermal Simulation of Cell Lithium-Ion Battery of Electrical Vehicle

Nowadays, pollution and reduction in fossil resources are major problems for world.The large number of cars which use hydrocarbons fuels is the main factor of this problem. Using of electric vehicles is a suitable solution. One of the most important parameters to calculate for electric vehicles battery is its state of charge. In this paper, a single prismatic cell of lithium ion battery in discharge cycle with electrochemical-thermal has been simulated with 3D CFD. First, numerical results are validated with experimental results of voltage and temperature. Then, the results of the electrical potential distribution in the current collector, state of charge, the lithium ion concentration in electrode, the temperature distribution and generated heat in battery are presented.
